Following a special election victory in Arizona, Adelita Grijalva will provide the necessary signature to force a House vote on the release of Jeffrey Epstein files. This victory, reducing the Republican majority, will allow for a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The legislation, co-sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie, aims to compel the Department of Justice to release all investigative files related to the late sex offender. Despite opposition from former President Trump, the discharge petition has gained significant support, with all House Democrats and a few Republicans already on board.

FBI director says he’s never spoken to Trump about the Epstein files – the implication is clear: a denial of any direct communication about the potentially damaging contents within those files. It’s a statement that, if false, would be a blatant disregard for truth and a potential indicator of a larger cover-up. The immediate reaction appears to be skepticism, and frankly, it’s hard to blame anyone for that. Given the complexities surrounding the Epstein case and the involvement, real or perceived, of powerful figures, the notion that such a conversation never occurred seems, at best, unlikely.
The core issue is trust, or more accurately, the lack thereof.… Continue reading

Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna are optimistic about their ability to force an unredacted release of the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein. The lawmakers believe they have the necessary votes for a House vote on the files’ release, despite potential obstacles in the Senate.

The push for the release of these files follows the Justice Department’s announcement that it found no list of Epstein clients and had no plans for further disclosures.

Despite attempts to dismiss the Epstein files, the pursuit of justice for survivors remains paramount, uniting individuals across the political spectrum. The goal is to release the full files to reveal who was involved and who has been shielded from accountability. A bipartisan discharge petition, led by the author and Representative Thomas Massie, is nearing the required signatures to force a vote on the bill to release the files. This effort is vital because the information released by the Justice Department so far is insufficient and fails to provide the transparency needed to address the widespread abuse and restore public trust.

The House’s partisan split has become even narrower with Democrat James Walkinshaw’s swearing-in, reducing the Republican majority to 219 seats. Speaker Johnson can now only afford to lose two Republican votes on party-line votes. The already slim majority presents significant challenges for congressional Republicans, as the narrow margin has historically created difficulty in passing legislation, with the upcoming government funding deadline posing an immediate test. The last time such a close margin existed was after the 1930 elections, highlighting the historic nature of the current situation.
